Before I went into this Anime I read the reviews which where all pretty much raving about how good it was. In some ways they are right. Cardfight Vanguard is a refreshing installment into the card type Anime series. The Graphics are up to date with what you would expect an Anime of the current age to be. The sound effects are to notch and the plot so far is sufficient. While that may sound like a ...

Before I went into this Anime I read the reviews which where all pretty much raving about how good it was. In some ways they are right. Cardfight Vanguard is a refreshing installment into the card type Anime series. The Graphics are up to date with what you would expect an Anime of the current age to be. The sound effects are to notch and the plot so far is sufficient. While that may sound like a golden set up for an animeI can't say this show is for everyone. (ノ ◑_◑)ノ

Cardfight Vanguard is NOT for people who are interested in off the bat action Anime's. The battle scenes are really dry, the characters reactions are so stale that you might even feel embarrassed for them, & towards the beginning I found myself questioning weather I should keep going or just drop this Anime entirely. The game itself is a bit hard to understand. I'm a big fan of card games. Weather it be Yu gi oh or Pokemon I have a certain respect for how alluring it is to collect and play with cards. That being said, Its hard to except how HARD CORE the characters in this Anime can be regarding this card game. I'm talking "teachers using this stuff to teach school lessons/people losing their breath after getting attacked" hard core! There are allot of barriers to overcome before you can start to appreciate this series. Yet once they are behind you I think you'll find this show to be rather entertaining & worth the watch.

In conclusion Cardfight Vanguard is an Anime that I would rate a 3 Stars out of five. My best advice? Watch at least five episodes before you decide on anything. =]

I stopped playing Yu-Gi-Oh! 2 years ago and stopped watching the anime about halfway through 5D's. The card game started becoming extremely unbalanced and the show was getting too ridiculous. In this show they play professionally without too much of that "evil power" heart of the cards nonsense. It's got a lot of humor and a lot of character development. I feel the anime rivals the first 2 seasons ...

I stopped playing Yu-Gi-Oh! 2 years ago and stopped watching the anime about halfway through 5D's. The card game started becoming extremely unbalanced and the show was getting too ridiculous. In this show they play professionally without too much of that "evil power" heart of the cards nonsense. It's got a lot of humor and a lot of character development. I feel the anime rivals the first 2 seasons of Yu-Gi-Oh! (duelist kingdom and battle city) but the card game is much better. They follow the game rules in the show, the card art is better, and it's very balanced. I feel like this will become very big in a few years and rival magic the gathering as the most popular trading card game.

This anime is worth watching again and again i am glad i started watching this i am a big anime fan but never have time to finish anime series but this one i enjoy so much its the only anime at the time i watch

Vanguard is very much alike to YGO. But they are their own shows in many ways. Someone reviewed and said that unlike Yu-Gi-Oh! the main character doesn't win all the time, which is very true. Unlike Yu-Gi-Oh!, Vanguard doesn't really have that many female duelists. The storyline has a few twists and turns in it which makes it fun and exciting. There are cards that you would never imagine and ...

Unlike Yu-Gi-Oh!, Vanguard doesn't really have that many female duelists. The storyline has a few twists and turns in it which makes it fun and exciting. There are cards that you would never imagine and characters are pretty cool, too. I hope it comes out in the USA very soon.

As i`ve seen YU-GI-OH! i wondered if this anime would be up to my standards when i came across it . So I watched a few episodes and found it surprisingly good, i liked it better than YU-GI-OH!. As the interesting plot lines, characters and good opening and closing theme tunes it certainly got me interested. It`s slow at first but gets better near the middle of the series and when Aichi gets ...

As i`ve seen YU-GI-OH! i wondered if this anime would be up to my standards when i came across it . So I watched a few episodes and found it surprisingly good, i liked it better than YU-GI-OH!. As the interesting plot lines, characters and good opening and closing theme tunes it certainly got me interested. It`s slow at first but gets better near the middle of the series and when Aichi gets psyqualia near the ending episodes. It certainly doesn't disappoint and the Vanguard- Asia Circuit is even better. So if you love card fights and a good story line this is not one to miss !!!

Overall - This anime has it's own unique style. Not like Yu-Gi-Oh , Duel Masters, Beyblade at all! I find the game easy and less complex to understand, even noobs could figure it out! xD Anyways, the drawings fit my taste, I don't know about you guys, but I'm not a fan of super old anime drawings. What I like most of all is that it seems like a relaxing anime, even though it's about a card game, ...

Overall - This anime has it's own unique style. Not like Yu-Gi-Oh , Duel Masters, Beyblade at all! I find the game easy and less complex to understand, even noobs could figure it out! xD Anyways, the drawings fit my taste, I don't know about you guys, but I'm not a fan of super old anime drawings. What I like most of all is that it seems like a relaxing anime, even though it's about a card game, it has a bit of Slice of Life, which not every card game anime has.

Storyline - So far it's great! I like how it keeps you captivated because it sure makes me want Friday! This anime gets me captivated to play the card game sooo mucho and it's relatively simple and clean. Not sure what you think about it though! :3

Character - I love how the characters develop and evolve over time, especially Aichi. Even though he's not the best, he still tries his hardest to face his rival. Unlike how other animes, which the main character is a super duper pro at it..*cough cough Yugi*. Not only that, but even though it has the usual "my parents died" background to them, even though most animes have them. But some characters don't have a clear background of all, so they make it up by showing their personalities (Kamui xD)!

Music - The music is relatively okay, in my opinion, more lively and "full of life". I like how they play them at the right time and it heightens my excitement! LIKE FRIGGIN ROLLERCOASTER!! xD Lol! I'm currently typing this as I listen to Episode 38 of Cardfight!! Vangaurd. :P

Animation - The animation suits my taste, not like those really old looking ones like the first Hunter x Hunter (I'm not saying I hate HunterxHunter! ) . It really shows how the Vanguards/ Units attack while playing epic anime music. Wouldn't you agree?! ^.^ The artwork is amazing as well, it shows detailed Units as well as characters.

Interesting ideas used in this anime, i watched this without even knowing what vanguard was about and now after finishing it i can say that i know how to play the game. So if this was made for teaching people how to play it has succeeded in at least doing that. The plot was a bit strange at points but some of the characters were very entertaining, while some you just hoped never appeared again. ...

The plot was a bit strange at points but some of the characters were very entertaining, while some you just hoped never appeared again. This anime is both good and bad depending on how you view it, i would probably say its worth watching once and then if you want to see more of the characters and what they get up to I'd suggest watching season 2.

Than again, a lot of things are less ridiculous and confusing than Yu-Gi-Oh. Don't be fooled though, this is a show where the characters are VERY well aware that it's just a children's card game.Synopsis in as few words as possible: We have our introvert protagonist who breaks out of his shell with his friends via a card game. Simple enough but for whatever reason this show has continued ...

Simple enough but for whatever reason this show has continued to hypnotize me to keep watching it. Although, it really helps that most of the openings in the first season are done by JAM Project. There are way better shows out there but this one has a card game simple enough that doesn't confuse the audience like Yu-Gi-Oh. However, I implore you to give it a chance.

If anyone has been recommended to play the TCG and been told to watch the anime to help out, that person is most likely skilled at the game already. I love the TCG(Trading Card Game) and the anime did a really good job in getting me more into than i should of had. This first season helps any begginer understand how the game works and if you've watched the original Yu-Gi-Oh, you may noticed that ...

I love the TCG(Trading Card Game) and the anime did a really good job in getting me more into than i should of had. This first season helps any begginer understand how the game works and if you've watched the original Yu-Gi-Oh, you may noticed that they started with confusing terms and fake skills the cards had aha. But Carfight won't do that, i only recommend the first 20 episodes, unless you also get hooked on. If that's the case keep on going because you're not that far behind from season 3 and will not be disappointed (:
